Tim Parks

Opis

Beth Marriot is fighting demons: a catastrophic series of events has undermined all prospect of happiness. Trauma leaves her no alternative but to bury herself in the austere asceticism of a community that wakes at 4am, doesn't permit eye contact, let alone speech, and keeps men and women strictly segregated.

Recenzje

It's a cracker - clever, funny and insightful, with complicated, conflicted and totally convincing Beth at heart Harry Ritchie Daily Mail
